The terminator is the line - on any planet - between light and dark.... but it is rarely a 'line' in the true sense here on Earth, it's more of a zone.

scatters daylight across the line; but it's quite sharp on the moon.

How can side of the earth dark and the other side be sunny?
The main thing to remember is that the Earth is a sphere. It's the same sort of shape as a basketball. The Earth blocks out the Sun so it can't light the side of Earth facing away from the Sun. A simple experiment: Take a ball and hold it to a light. The half of the ball facing the light will be lit up and the other side will be dark. Rotate the ball and different parts will now be light and dark. That's like what happens as the Earth rotates. That's why a place on Earth has day then night.
Why does it only snow in some parts of earth?
it only snows in some parts of the earth because it is hotter by the equater. It also onlly snows in parts of the earth because the earth sits on its axis and the earth is at a tilt so only parts of the earth get the shadow. For example if you shine a flashlight on a base ball in a dark room with the ball with a tilt only part of the ball will have light. hope i helped :)
How does light and dark reactions correspond with parts of a leaf?
Dark reaction needs energy. this energy is supplied by light reaction
What is the difference between light and dark?
The difference between light and dark is a rather complicated topic. It involves, with light, their being certain wavelengths present. With darkness, there are no wavelengths present.

The contrast between light and dark- APEX
What would the relation between day and night be on the earths shape if the earth's shape is a cube?
You can imagine a rotating cube, that is illuminated by a source of light on one side. The cube would have a dark side and a light side, and as it rotates, the surface of the cube would change from dark to light, and light to dark, much like the existing situation on the planet Earth. The main difference is that the changes in lighting would not be as gradual as they are for a sphere. Surfaces of the cube would go from light to dark, or dark to light, much more suddenly.
